Eurogamer writes: "'We're sitting in the Milton room by the way,' Wayne Barlowe confides, with a twinkle in his eye. We've just been talking about Paradise Lost, the English writer's 17th-century epic poem, and the defining literary influence on Barlowe's artistic life.
'I read Paradise Lost a number of years ago - probably nearly 20 years ago now - and it got under my skin, and has provided me in my own personal work with the sensibility and underpinnings that appealed to me.'"
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
Very interesting.
I too read Paradise Lost and I am curious on how this game will be able to translate the books "epicness".
Seriously , if you have read the inferno and know each canto by heart and watch that trailer , you will know how amazingly talented the dead space team is.
The design on cerberus alone decided the purchase for me. Never have i seen such a terrifyingly grotesque beast. that whole level was amazing.
I really cant wait for this game to come out , will kick the sh*t out of the competition
that EA redwood shores is going to be pumping out quality games from now on, which is such a suprise because EA is only really good for sports games, other than that all their other games have been down the tubes.
Hope this game does well, though from the screens the game's graphics needs some work, but a years development time should definately do the trick. Don't get me wrong the cinematic trailer was one of the best I've seen, ever. Up there with the Onimusha 3 intro trailer.
